"I enjoy the creative process, especially when working as part of a team. I find that some of the best work isn't designed; it's re-designed, after feedback, and sometimes a bit of a pain. When people come together on a project in a positive way, I find I can make an effective contribution. That is most satisfying."

Designer at Grafton Staffing
in Overland Park, KS

"Well, it would have been nice to not lay off almost 40 contingency workers, and then their regular staff (and I'm speaking of Black & Veatch here, rather than Grafton). I don't know as I could have done any better or differently than either Grafton or Black & Veatch. Those were extraordinary times."
